I've been meaning to do this for about a year and today i finally got round to it.
I'm hoping for the release of fliers and grav bikes from Hasslefree miniatures and fenris games, and I believe there is more planned from Old Crow too! But in the eantime I decided to make a DIY version.
This is my simple view of a single seat strike craft, small, maneuverable, agile and mobil enough to be operated from a forward mechanised unit and a temporary airfield.
EDIT: sorry the pictures are a bit grainy these are from my phone. Will post more when I get a chance.
Its not finished! It needs landing gear, plenty of small finishing details and some weapons. I was thinking wingtip mounted air to air missiles with 2-4 air to ground missiles side mounted/underslung. I don't think such a craft would have an underslung remote cannon but some small fixed forward machine guns would enable good infantry strafing opportunities.
This was pretty simple, and consisted of amalgamating a parts from a couple of Revel easy snap fit Sar Wars kits. I have enough to make another pair of these. Will finish all three before deciding on a paint scheme.

ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty cool but I am not a fan of the tailplane. It looks too large to me. If it was more akin to smaller versions of the main planes, then I think it would look better. A tail fin would add stability too.
ReplyDeleteApart from that, I think it is a great job on amalgamating the kits :).
Now get them all built, sort out the weapons and landing-gear and get some pix up!
yes boss :D
ReplyDeletethis is real cool.
